CHAPTER 3
OBSTACLES
Voices went on back and forth. Arguing over simple subjects revealing towards a future with one person. The person you choose to live beside.
Yet pain came alive through him. His mind ached. His dream faded over and over. Nothing was clear or logical. Nothing.
Pain rushed through his mind as he awoke from his sleep. His mind was dizzy as he felt the after effects. Ichigo scratched his head.
The door opened as he looked towards his left side of his bedroom. Noticing Rukia with her arms crossed. She stared at him. Bit worried and enraged.
"What time is it?"asked Ichigo
"Really? That's it? I mean what about yesterday?"asked Rukia
Ichigo looked away from her and stood up stretching. Yawning aloud his eyes looked at her. Both silently staring at each other.
"What did I do wrong this time Rukia?"asked Ichigo
"Wrong? Chickening out and heading into the world of the living then into a street fight? To release stress?" asked Rukia
"Yes I did and so what, and no I didn't freak out about Harribel" said Ichigo
Rukai shrugged. Looking out his window with nothing much to say. Ichigo walked passed her and into his closet.
"Look I didn't see it coming at all I mean she wants me to-"
"Take responsibility beside her she's not abandoning everything to you Ichigo" she said
Ichigo stopped and thought of it as Rukia cleared it up. Rukia shrugged and smiled a bit.
"What's funny?"asked Ichigo
"You got your ass beat, now that I think about it it's kinda funny" she said smiling
Ichigo looked at his shoes with mud and dirt on the ground. He sighed. Knowing his sisters would yell at him. His choice was only one night as he thought.
"Karen cleaned up downstairs after your destruction along with Kiskue bringing home your drunken dad again" said Rukia
"Good to see you too Rukia" said Ichigo sarcastically
" Are you going back to Hueco Mundo yet Ichigo?" she asked
Ruki looked at him gathering his clothes. Getting ready to head off to work. Ichigo stopped. Thinking carefully about what he was going to do.
" I don't know yet really" said Ichigo
10 Minutes later ...
Ichigo yawned again aloud as he walked outside. Feeling the bright summer sunlight. The light glowing over Kurakura town.
Ichigo wore jeans, black t-shirt, and a blue jacket with a title on the right arm as "Bleach". Ichigo and Rukia walked side by side.
"I still think you should go back Ichigo" she said
His eyes stared at the ground. His new converse shoes of black and blue. He thought of it.
"I know I should, make things right with Harribel" said Ichigo
" I'm sure she wasn't worried or anything at all, besides she's too much woman for you" said Rukia laughing aloud
Ichigo stopped walking and shrugged. Ichigo made a funny "Whatever" Face towards Rukia. The street light turned red as both stopped walking.
"What did you do after leaving, I mean before arriving to this endless point"asked Rukia
"I didn't do much besides get involved and introduced into it by Kisuke's betting" said Ichigo
"Yep he fucking lied to me" she said with a angered face and clenched fists
Ichigo smiled. Both walked forward again crossing as the green light shined. Cars on there right hand side stopped. Noticing them.
"By the way Orihime wants us to have a girl's night out today and she wants you to hang out with Ulquiorra" said Rukia
Ichigo took out his hands and placed them around his head. Resting his head as he looked up towards the clear sky.
"Fine, I mean but where do we go then?"asked Ichigo
"I don't know , I mean do what ever you boys feel is right I guess" she said smartly
They had arrived at the delivery store. Ichigo looked at the front door. Ready to go in.
"What time today then?"he asked looking back at Rukia
"After work meet Ulquiorra at Kisuke's shop" she said
Change of view...
People laughing. Moving on with what they have as one life each. Ulquiorra captured moments in his note pad. Catching small events he noticed.
The small things in life that would help him. Guide him into a better living with Orihime.
" This is a good change Ulquiorra" said Chad
Both sat at the outside coffee table of the Starbucks cafe. Ulquiorra finished sketching in his notebook.
Chad smiled as he took a look at Ulquiorra's sketches of beaches, tides, flowers, people. Noticing the precis detail.
"Will you guys move out of town or stay within city limits" he asked
"We don't know yet, but whatever comes our way it will be for the best" said Ulquiorra
"Boys!"yelled Yoruichi as she walked out of the store beside the Starbucks
Both looked towards her as she walked to them. Bags, large shopping bags with merchandise within them. Swing back and forth.
"Both of you , no girls tonight okay especially you Ulquiorra or Orihime will kill you" she said sarcastically
Both stared with blank faces at her. She smiled laughing leaving as she yelled aloud.
"See ya'll at Kisuke's tonight!"
"What's tonight?"asked Chad
"A party night for the girls, celebrating something that was meaningful if I'm not mistaken" said Ulquiorra
" I take it Renji and Ichigo will stir the most part of the party for us then" said Chad calmly
Change Of View...
"Oh God!"yelled Kisuke
"Boss? Sorry about that but I'm sure I can fix that smell" said Tesai
"No! Not that ever again!" yelled Kisuke
"Really? What will I tell when she comes home?"asked Tesai
" I'm not sure! Just gimme something new not used or over dew since 6 months ago!"he yelled as he threw up inside the bathroom
